So I knew at 35 weeks that my baby was measuring 8lbs. My doctor didn’t think baby would be that big if I went to my due date, but because I was intent on not being medically induced she agreed to help me do everything possible to try and help my body go into labor on my own. I had a sweep at 37 weeks, lost my mucus plug, had contractions on and off.

Thought I was in labor a week later and had zero change from the previous appointment! So I went home to bounce on my ball and putter around the house because I was huge and uncomfortable. 38 + 2 my water broke at 737pm, and my baby was out at 1023pm no epidural! 😱😱😱 I didn’t even think I could do it but it was AMAZING!

Baby definitely wasn’t 8lbs. He was 10lbs 15oz and 21.5in 😬 I also got to see the knot he put in his umbilical cord.
